A wealth of information on acyl urea and its purported effects on cancer affecting women has been gathered from different sources and condensed to provide readers with a broad understanding of the role of acyl urea in combating cancer. Acylureas demonstrate promising results by selectively inhibiting key molecular targets associated with cancer progressions, such as EGFR, ALK, HER2, and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Specifically, targeting acyl ureas impedes tumor proliferation and metastasis while minimizing harm to healthy tissues, offering a targeted therapeutic approach with reduced side effects compared to conventional chemotherapy.

This paper reviews the recent some progresses of aberrant KLFs with their potential values for diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted therapy in HCC. The recent advances of oncogenic KLFs in the diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted therapy of HCC were reviewed based on the related literature on PUBMED and clinical investigation. Based on the recent literature, KLFs, according to biological functions in HCC, are divided into 4 subgroups: promoting (KLF5, 7, 8, 13), inhibiting (KLF3, 4, 9~12, 14,17), dual (KLF2,6), and unknown functions (KLF1, 15, 16, or 18 ?). HCC-related KLFs regulate downstream gene transcription during hepatocyte malignant transformation, participating in cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and metastasis. Some KLFs have diagnostic or prognostic value, and other KLFs with inhibiting promoting function or over-expressing inhibiting roles might be molecular targets for HCC therapy. These data have suggested that Abnormal expressions of KLFs were associated with HCC progression.
